== Name
|
|
|
|
DBus API for signal-cli - A commandline and dbus interface for the Signal messenger
|
|
|
|
== Synopsis
|
|
|
|
*signal-cli* [--verbose] [--config CONFIG] [-u USERNAME] [-o {plain-text,json}] daemon [--system]
|
|
|
|
*dbus-send* [--system | --session] [--print-reply] --type=method_call --dest="org.asamk.Signal" /org/asamk/Signal[/_<phonenum>] org.asamk.Signal.<method> [string:<string argument>] [array:<type>:<array argument>]
|
|
|
|
Note: when daemon was started without explicit `-u USERNAME`, the `dbus-send` command requires adding the phone number in `/org/asamk/Signal/_<phonenum>`.
|
|
|
|
== Description
|
|
|
|
See signal-cli (1) for details on the application.
|
|
|
|
This documentation handles the supported methods when running signal-cli as a DBus daemon.
|
|
|
|
The method are described as follows:
|
|
|
|
method(arg1<type>, arg2<type>, ...) -> return<type>
|
|
|
|
Where <type> is according to DBus specification:
|
|
|
|
* <a> : Array of ...
|
|
* <s> : String
|
|
* <y> : Byte
|
|
* <b> : Boolean (false|true)
|
|
* <x> : Signed 64-bit integer (long)
|
|
* <i> : Signed 32-bit integer (int)
|
|
* <> : no return value
|
|
|
|
Exceptions are the names of the Java Exceptions returned in the body field. They typically contain an additional message with details. All Exceptions begin with "org.asamk.Signal.Error." which is omitted here for better readability.
|
|
|
|
Phone numbers always have the format +<countrycode><regional number>
|
|
|
|

== Examples
|
|
|
|
Send a text message (without attachment) to a contact::
|
|
dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest="org.asamk.Signal" /org/asamk/Signal org.asamk.Signal.sendMessage string:"Message text goes here" array:string: string:+123456789
|
|
|
|
Send a group message::
|
|
dbus-send --session --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.asamk.Signal /org/asamk/Signal org.asamk.Signal.sendGroupMessage string:'The message goes here' array:string:'/path/to/attachmnt1','/path/to/attachmnt2' array:byte:139,22,72,247,116,32,170,104,205,164,207,21,248,77,185
|
|
|
|
Print the group name corresponding to a groupId; the daemon runs on system bus, and was started without an explicit `-u USERNAME`::
|
|
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest='org.asamk.Signal' /org/asamk/Signal/_1234567890 org.asamk.Signal.getGroupName array:byte:139,22,72,247,116,32,170,104,205,164,207,21,248,77,185
